| Etymology | Named after Latin “natans” = floating, in loose reference to the fact that all specimens collected in Mamirauá (the majority of the type series) were found in floating rotten logs in flooded forest. Etymology (emersoni): “Dedicada en homenaje al Dr. Helio Emerson Belluomini, del Instituto Butantan, en reconocimiento a su valiosa contribución al estudio de las serpientes venenosas del Brasil, a la producción media de veneno y la determinación de la potencia letal de éstos, en animales domésticos.” |
